Spike Lee's straightforward film version of the popular "kings of comedy" show, featuring comics Steve Harvey, D.L. Hughley, Cedric the Entertainer, and Bernie Mac, moves fast and lays laughs. Each comic performs alone, with Harvey acting as opener and emcee, and three out of the four are worth watching. Everyone tries their hand at "we got some white people here . . . white people are like this--whereas black people are like this," with varying results, and everyone mixes in some less inflammatory material too. "Full-grown man" Cedric the Entertainer pulls off most of the funniest bits, dog, peaking with his reggae number about daily routine and its refrain "peanut butter/ but no jam . . . no jam." Steve Harvey make a convincing plea on behalf of "oldschool" music, i.e 70's Soul and R&B, and is generally good. Bernie Mac is the show's raw nerve bad boy, revelling in outrageous anti-pc dysfunctional truth-telling on subjects like the joy of child-beating. Young hot-shot D.L. Hughley seems out of his depth, and turns in the least memorable stuff. Lee works in a few offstage clips and lots of audience reaction shots, but is generally content to let the comics have the focus, and it pays off.
